Reason for Recall

Defective Heat Exchanger/membrane; this may result in perforation of the membrane thus allowing the presence of infectious organisms and/or pathogens to pass from patient to patient.

Firm Action

Consignees were notified by fax on 05/12/2006 and by letter on 05/16/2006. Until it was determined that their Phoenix system did not have an affected heat exchanger, users were instructed to disinfect the hydraulics flow path after each patient treatment. Gambro personnel will inspect each system and replace any affected heat exchangers.

Root Cause

Nonconforming Material/Component

Distribution Pattern

Worldwide Distribution, USA, including VA facilities in GA and NC. Foreign distribution to Canada, Korea and Mexico.
